We have made some changes to downtown, including a 30 million dollar ballpark.....that we have yet to begin to pay on...(by the way, as citizens, we pay for the Aeros recyclable waste removal....not the owner of the team), let's see what else.....Here's one, Lock 3. What in the hell happens at ock 3, besides ice skating in the winter? The occasional free concert performed by some you have never herd of, and likely will never hear from again is not worth the investment. Ahhh, Downtown Hotel LLC? Ever heard of that little deal? Dave Brennan, wo has more money than God went to the city for a loan to take over the last hotel in the downtown area. Well, it went belly up and since he was an LLC...well, he wasn't exactly liable. So, here's what they did....the city said give us what cash you have and we will take these here parking spaces that are at a premium downtown as the rest of what you owe....and those geniuses we have on city council voted for it! Each and every one! The days of the mayor and his minnions have already seen their day and Akron has begun to move in a different direction. Money? That's what we are worried about? We didn't have the money to pay for a stadium, an ampitheater(and I use that term loosely), or a hotel! We most definitely have the money to run the guy who paid for all of those things out of town on a rail!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029962.post-5713287997487128242008-11-20T15:18:00.000-05:002008-11-20T15:18:00.000-05:00Redhorse, I agree.

The key word in your essay is gadfly.They...Gadfly. The key word in your essay is gadfly.<BR/><BR/>They'll get those signatures, a tall order, but I believe they will get enough. Then we're stuck with a costly, unnecessary, and likely unsuccessful recall.<BR/><BR/>Whatever people's issues with the Mayor, this isn't a good governance answer to them. Isn't that, in part, why WM and others fought against Issue 8?<BR/><BR/>Unbelievable.Jason Haashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14581224941149292415noreply@blogger.com
